Ghana Likely To Experience Moderate Increase In Role Of Government Sanctioned Non-State Actors Over the Next Five Years

Executive Summary:
Due to moderate stability, and minimal levels of democracy, doing business, and corruption, Ghana retains a score of 2 on the Government Sanctioned side of the non-state actor role potential spectrum. This indicates that it is likely that lawful non-state actors play a minimal role in the country, because of significant levels of government control of the socio-political environment. Lawful non-state actors involved in the country are likely to be foreign businesses, like Cadbury Scheweppes, Diageo, and Visa, due to the majority of the workforce in Ghana is involved in agriculture. Other lawful non-state actors include political groups such as the Trade Union Congress and the Ghana Bar Association. Due to economic growth, increased enthusiasm for democracy, and continued stability, it is likely that non-state actors in Ghana will moderately increase in influence over the next five years.
